We have had a Northern Mockingbird (male) at our feeders here in Port 
Hawkesbury since early autumn. He has been feeding on blueberries all 
winter with a few pecks at some grape jelly. Just lately, for some 
reason, it has switched to eating our homemade suet. I have a strong 
suspicion that this is the same bird that wintered with us last winter 
and disappeared one day before the spring Migratory Bird Count in May!!
Also, we had three Pine Warblers all at once early in the winter and 
actually counted two on our Christmas Bird Count on December 28. Since 
then, one has disappeared but one female continues to show up for suet 
once in a while. It was here today again, but we do not see it every 
day. Looks like at least one Pine Warbler may make it through the winter 
here in the Strait Area. David Johnston.
